Jalapeno Popper #2

30 peppers halved and seeded
1 8oz pkg cream cheese softened
30 small smoked sausages (such as Lit'l Smokies)
1 lb pkg thin sliced bacon cut in half
1/2 cup barbeque sauce

Preheat oven to 350
Fill pepper halves about half full with cream cheese then place smoked sausage into each pepper on top of cheese.
wrap each with a half strip of bacon
place poppers on a sheet pan and brush with barbeque sauce
bake until the bacon is done to your taste.

These are great hot but I am not a fan of them cold.

Grandpa says "either you like bacon or your wrong".

That sounds good and I agree with Grandpa

Your grandpa sounds like a very wise man.

I'm not a big fan of jalapenos (prefer NM green chile), but wrap bacon around just about anything and I'll eat it.

Speaking of green chile, it doesn't work very well for poppers, but a strip of it inserted into a butterflied shrimp that's been wrapped in bacon and smoked is muy bueno!

Yummmm. This reminds me that it's almost time to start my peppers under the gro-lights.
